DALLAS – A group of more than 170 stock clerks at Southwest Airlines Co. rejected a contract negotiated with the discount carrier.
Southwest said Tuesday that the contract it negotiated with the Teamsters union, which represents the clerks, would have run until Aug. 16, 2013.
Few details of the proposal were disclosed, although Southwest said in December that the deal included wage and benefit increases in exchange for work-rule changes sought by the company.
